[SOLVED] flash sound stopped working

Hi,

For the last few days, all Flash audio has stopped working, in both Firefox and Chrome. What's more, if I try to use Flash audio, other apps such as mplayer will then say "/dev/dsp : device or resource busy", until I close the offending browser, then mplayer will work again.

It is happening even after I killed pulseaudio. The recent flash update did not fix it.

do you have qt5 installed? it was causing issues on my system with audio devices, I removed it (not very scientific solution, I know but I did not really need it) and sound has been working fine since then.

Well! I'm not sure if that was it or not (oss actually was not installed) but digging into that made me go into the KDE Control Center and set PulseAudio as the top in the preference list, and that seems to solve the problem!
